Frequently Asked Questions

GeoQuote.ai gives roofing contractors and solar installers a hosted quote link homeowners can use from Google Business Profile, Facebook, text messages, QR codes, email, or a website. It uses satellite imagery via Google Solar API to create fast ballpark property estimates and can add consent-based follow-up when the contractor wants it.

GeoQuote works in 3 steps: (1) you share your quote link anywhere homeowners already find you, (2) the homeowner enters their address and sees the property through the satellite-powered quote flow, (3) you receive the quote request with property context and can add AI Follow-Up for consent-based callback support.

GeoQuote is currently designed for roofing contractors and solar installers. The product, pricing, and conversion flow are optimized around roof measurement, solar suitability data, instant estimates, and fast appointment booking for those two trades.

GeoQuote.ai was selected for the Google for Startups Cloud Program (2026 cohort), receiving Google Cloud credits and access to startup resources. The platform is built on Google Cloud infrastructure and uses Google's Solar API for satellite measurements. GeoQuote is not directly funded by Google.

GeoQuote starts with a hosted quote link instead of asking a contractor to install a widget first. Unlike standalone measurement tools (EagleView, RoofSnap) or CRM platforms (AccuLynx, JobNimbus), GeoQuote focuses on the front-door quote request moment before the job moves into CRM or proposal work.

GeoQuote currently has two plans: Launch at $299/month for the hosted quote link, and AI Follow-Up at $599/month for the quote link plus consent-based SMS/AI follow-up. Both are flat monthly plans with no report fees for normal contractor usage.

No. GeoQuote uses a flat monthly subscription model rather than charging per quote request or per report. This is fundamentally different from marketplaces like Angi (HomeAdvisor) and Thumbtack, where contractors often pay per contact and may compete with other companies for the same homeowner.

Launch and AI Follow-Up are monthly plans designed to stay flexible while the quote link proves itself. Annual, white-label, or custom usage options may be offered separately, but the public buying decision is simple: quote link only, or quote link plus follow-up.

Yes. Start with Launch when you want the hosted quote link. Move to AI Follow-Up when you want help chasing verified quote requests faster.

GeoQuote.ai is fundamentally different from Angi (HomeAdvisor). Angi sells shared leads and can put the same homeowner in front of multiple contractors. GeoQuote gives you your own quote link for Google Business Profile, Facebook, SMS, QR codes, email, ads, and your website. You own the quote request exclusively and pay a flat monthly rate instead of per-lead fees.

Thumbtack charges contractors per lead and may put a homeowner in front of multiple businesses. GeoQuote captures requests from your own quote link, so the homeowner is engaging with your brand. GeoQuote also provides a satellite-based estimate experience and optional AI-assisted follow-up.

RoofSnap and EagleView are measurement-focused tools. GeoQuote is positioned earlier in the funnel: it gives homeowners a quote link, property context, phone verification, and a cleaner handoff before the contractor decides whether to order precision measurement.

AccuLynx and JobNimbus are CRM/project management platforms for contractors — they manage jobs after a lead exists. GeoQuote focuses on the front end: giving contractors a shareable quote link, capturing homeowner intent, and preparing the lead packet. Many contractors use GeoQuote alongside their CRM.

For many contractors, yes, but the quote link is broader than a website form. GeoQuote works as a standalone quote page first, then can also be embedded on a website when the contractor wants it.

GeoQuote uses Google Solar API measurements where available, which provide roof and property dimensions from aerial imagery. Accuracy varies by imagery quality, roof visibility, roof complexity, and local data availability. GeoQuote estimates are designed for initial ballpark qualification, not final bids. Contractors still perform final on-site inspections before issuing binding quotes.

GeoQuote works for residential properties in the US and Canada where strong satellite imagery is available. It is currently focused on roofing and solar use cases, especially suburban and urban homes where roof visibility and geometry are reliable enough for instant pre-qualification.

Yes. GeoQuote uses Google Solar API satellite imagery to measure roof areas and generate instant roofing estimates. Homeowners enter their address, see their actual property from satellite, and get a detailed estimate for roofing materials and labor. This eliminates the need for an initial site visit just to provide a ballpark quote.

GeoQuote focuses on the measurements that matter most for roofing and solar: roof area, roof geometry, usable roof sections, and solar-related roof data from Google Solar API. The goal is to give homeowners a credible instant ballpark estimate before your team ever does the final on-site inspection.

You do not need a website to start. GeoQuote gives you a hosted quote link first. If you want to add it to your website later, copy a single line of embed code from your GeoQuote dashboard or ask us to help.

Yes. GeoQuote works on WordPress via a simple embed code, but WordPress is optional. You can use the hosted quote link even if your website is not ready.

Yes. GeoQuote works on any website platform including Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy, and custom HTML sites. The hosted quote link works without installing anything, and a website embed can be added later.

Yes. Your hosted quote page and optional website widget can use your company name, logo, colors, service area, and pricing assumptions so the homeowner sees your brand first.

GeoQuote provides exports and operational handoff options so your team can move verified homeowner data into the rest of your workflow. The immediate focus of the product is conversion, verification, and appointment capture for roofing and solar contractors rather than being positioned as a full CRM replacement.

After a homeowner submits a quote request, GeoQuote can verify their interest via SMS and trigger consent-based AI-assisted follow-up to qualify the request and help move it toward an inspection or appointment.

Yes, when AI Follow-Up is enabled and the homeowner has provided the required consent. GeoQuote can initiate an automated follow-up to qualify interest, confirm project details, and help your team move faster.

Yes. AI Follow-Up is optional. You can use GeoQuote purely as a hosted quote link and receive leads in the Lite CRM, then follow up manually at your own pace.

GeoQuote is designed to make your existing channels easier to act on. Results depend on your service area, brand, response speed, and traffic, but the hosted quote link removes the website-install friction and gives homeowners a cleaner next step.

For each verified customer, GeoQuote can capture the homeowner's name, phone number, email, property address, relevant roof or solar context, and the instant estimate context generated during the session. That gives your team a much stronger starting point than a generic form fill.

Yes. GeoQuote supports CSV export for importing leads into your CRM, and PDF export for individual estimates. All lead data belongs to you — GeoQuote never sells or shares your leads with other contractors.

Yes. GeoQuote supports solar installers with roof-based qualification, usable roof data, and instant estimate flows that help homeowners understand capacity and potential savings before your sales team speaks with them.

GeoQuote includes consent capture and data-handling controls intended to support privacy obligations such as GDPR and PIPEDA. Lead data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can export or delete individual lead records. GeoQuote does not sell leads to third-party marketplaces.

Never. GeoQuote is not a marketplace listing. Every quote request through your link is exclusively yours. Unlike Angi, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack, GeoQuote never shares your inquiries with competing contractors.
